Dudhsagar Water Falls
Measuring a mighty 600m from head to foot, the famous
waterfalls at DUDHSAGAR, on the Goa-Karnataka border, are some of the
highest in India, and a spectacular enough sight to entice a steady stream
of visitors from the coast into the rugged Western Ghats. After pouring
across the Deccan plateau, the headwaters of the Mandovi River form a
foaming torrent that fans into three streams, then cascades down a near-vertical
cliff face into a deep green pool. The Konkani name for the falls, which
literally translated means "sea of milk", derives from clouds
of foam kicked up at the bottom when the water levels are at their highest.
Overlooking a steep, crescent-shaped head of a valley carpeted with pristine
tropical forest, Dudhsagar is set amid breathtaking scenery that is only
accessible on foot or by Jeep; the old Vasco-Castle Rock railway actually
passes over the falls on an old stone viaduct, but services along it are
infrequent.
